Yeah we know “Awesomer” is not a word but it got your attention… didn’t it?

This is part 2 of our first post “25 Awesome Google Android Websites You Should Follow“. Many loved the list, some blasted it because they weren’t on it, and others wanted in to the list. Nonetheless, we’ve compiled another list of unique, cool and knowledgeable websites giving respect knuckles to Google’s Android OS, phones/hardware, Android news/rumors, Android development or Android Apps.

AndroidTapp.com has become the #1 best resource for Android App Reviews. We offer unbiased, definitive and concise Android App Reviews. Not to mention all the Freebies we give away such as the T-Mobile G1 cellphone, American Express Gift Cards, or free WordPress theme “WordTapp”. See what our past winners say about us!

Android Market. We can’t forget about the Android Official website. At launch it really sucked because it didn’t list all app in the market (only the featured).

Cool list! If nobody objects I’m going to add most of these awesome and awesomer web sites to PlanetAndroid.com . It’s really amazing how many Android sites have sprung up. Let me know when you find new ones that you think should be added.

Oh, and check out the twitterfeed robot I set up at http://twitter.com/droidfeed . It tweets with a title and a link every time there’s something new on PlanetAndroid.

Cyrket (www.cyrket.com definitely deserves to be in the list… It is the only current way for me to see all apps from the market, and to see reviews I can’t see based on my locale settings on the phone…

It allows me also to view every day the newest apps on the market… You can’t see that anywhere else… Great site.

  Did you know there’s another Android Market website called http://www.AndroLib.com that does the same, just a little better? We’re integrated with them so you’ll find our reviews on their site and their Market links with our reviews

Hi, my name is Brian (Big Lou), and I have created a new website called RootYourDroid.info. It is a website that helps even the least knowledgeable noobs root their Droid; all while educating them every step of the way.

Started in December 2009, RootYourDroid.info has helped thousands of people with Root and hacking related procedures. We pride ourselves in helping even the least knowledgeable people.

I just thought I’d let you know about the site seeing how many people are still bewildered by the root process.

Thank you,
Brian

While I’d make no claim to belong to the list of the top 25, those of you who are looking for a more critical perspective on apps should head to
http://www.DroidIdol.com! We review apps out of 20 points in 5 categories- fulfilling its goal thoroughly, looking nice, performing well, simplicity of use, and how useful/fun it is- for a score out of 100 points. We try to review one app every day, and have weekly and monthly winners.
